Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Restitution payments continue on community confinement
If you are on supervised community confinement and still owe victim restitution, you must keep paying when the commissioner requires it. The commissioner must find that you have the money to pay. Payments should be similar to what you would have paid while in prison.
End-of-life medical transfer option
With the prisoner’s consent, the commissioner can approve supervised community confinement for terminally ill or severely incapacitated prisoners when outside care is medically appropriate. The medical director must confirm the condition or a worsening prognosis. The prisoner may live in a hospital, nursing or residential care facility, licensed hospice, or at home with approved services. The commissioner can waive mandatory conditions that do not fit. The transfer is revoked if medical rules are not followed or the condition changes and outside care is no longer appropriate.
Extra checks for domestic-violence transfers
When the crime was against a family member or dating partner, the review must consider a validated domestic violence risk assessment. This includes any assessment done by law enforcement in the case. The district attorney in the county of conviction and a local domestic violence resource center must be told about the transfer application.
More victim and community say in transfers
The transfer review now follows best practices to predict who can finish supervised community confinement. Staff must consider information from the Office of Victim Services. The office can get more time to reach victims. The review must address reasonable safety concerns from the community, including victims. When staff ask people for input, they must also share the prisoner’s progress on work, education, and programs. Prisoners who are eligible but denied can appeal to the commissioner.
